Hi everyone! I am planning on hatching some eggs in an incubator for the first time around December-January. I would love if you guys could give me tips or help me understand temp, what humidity should be at, lockdown etc. Thank you guys in advance and I’m very excited to hatch chicks!

Noting parent nutrition has HUGE impact on embryonic development.. Consider using a supplement like Rooster Booster brand Poultry Cell product a couple weeks before collecting eggs.. or at least make sure you are using a quality formulated ration NOT diminished by excess treats.

Best wishes and happy hatching!

Thank you! I didn’t know that I’ll make sure they have some before collecting!
